INTRODUCTION

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is one of the most important phospholipids derived from soya lecithin and represents a key structural component of cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine 90% refers to a highly purified grade where the PC content is enriched to around 90% through specialized extraction and purification steps. It is valued for its excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, membrane-protective, and nutraceutical properties. Because it is plant-derived, non-GMO options are widely available, making it suitable for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and dietary supplement applications.

MANUFACTURE

Phosphatidylcholine 90% is produced by extracting crude soya lecithin from soybean oil and subjecting it to selective solvent fractionation. The phospholipid-rich fraction is then purified through processes such as molecular distillation or chromatographic enrichment to increase PC concentration. Final polishing, drying, and deodorization yield a high-purity Phosphatidylcholine 90% suitable for nutra and pharma applications.
